MK11 Kombat Kast Postponed Until Next Week

NetherRealm freezes over in record cold!

Posted at 01/30/2019 11:22 AM EST by

The first developer stream of the Mortal Kombat 11 cycle has been postponed due to extreme inclement weather. CBS Chicago forecasts the lowest temperatures to hit the windy city since 1985, with wind chill taking temperatures down to -50° in some areas! NetherRealm Studios issued a statement to Twitter, citing worker safety as they delay the stream for an additional week.

The safety of our team is very important to us. Due to the dangerous incoming storm, we’ve decided to move the Kombat Kast to Tuesday, February 5th, at 3 pm CST. We thank you for your understanding!
— NetherRealm Studios (@NetherRealm) January 29, 2019

The Kombat Kast livestream is now scheduled to return Tuesday, February 5th at 3:00pm CST. That's the same day Inside Xbox will premier with new Mortal Kombat 11 info, as well.

Viewers who tuned in to the full Los Angeles presentation from The Reveal are widely anticipating the Kombat Kast's return, with an on-stage teaser pointing strongly towards the unveiling of cult returning character: Kabal! A reminiscent figure dashed unannounced across screens, captured in the tantalizing still below.

The hideously disfigured Black Dragon fighter was last seen as a revenant during the Mortal Kombat X story mode, but hasn't been playable since the prior installment. A timebending plot will see the original trilogy fold over with the present timeline as depicted in Mortal Kombat 11, allowing different eras of the same character to collide!

Mortal Kombat 11 is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC in just a few months - April 23rd! Join the discussion, share your wishlist, and follow news on the Mortal Kombat 11 forum!

It's a shame but the team's safety is way more important. Looks like it'll be a double whammy with the Xbox reveal stuff.

Well, damn.

Happy to see they’re taking precautions, though. Stay safe out there.

They should at least give us a character reveal trailer tomoro. Or hell, even just the trailers of the other characters that are already revealed. To my knowledge, only Geras had a trailer so far.

Damn you, Sub-Zero!

Seriously though it's totally understandable. I have something to look forward to when I get off work on Tuesday.

Okay, I live in Chicago... same damned place as Netherrealm, and while the postponement doesn't really surprise me, because pretty much every business is shut down and or working from home tomorrow... postponing 'til Tuesday is just ridiculous. Many will be back at work by Thursday. Certainly by Friday. And GOD KNOWS Monday. What, they just figured, "Screw it, Monday is hard enough already. No extra work Monday. Let's push it straight to Tuesday."

Tuesday is just needlessly stupid. That's like a whole additional week from now.

I was looking forward to watching this while I stayed home from work tomorrow dammit.

PS. I'm allowed to not cut them slack on the cold, I'm living through it with them. I don't have to be sensitive to their plight when I'm sharing in it.

Maybe they will toss in another character due to the postponing.

As someone that also lives in Chicago, I totally get why they’re not doing this tomorrow or Thursday for that matter. I have no idea why they had to move it to Tuesday but who knows, maybe that’s the next time everyone in front of the camera and behind it are available to get it done.

Sucks for us fans but that’s just the situation, we’ll get all the info when we get it.

The hell? I thought I could count on you to be one of the cool headed ones. It's not like Kombat Kast is the only job these people have or the only thing going on with their schedules. You move something out of its scheduled time... and maybe it takes a few more days to find another opening.

I'm in Missouri and yes, it's cold, but I personally don't understand everything shutting down for it. But maybe that's because I grew up on a farm and we had to work no matter the weather. Needless to say, I never understand it when people say the weather's too bad to drive to and work in a heated building.

Eh, I was mostly joke-ranting. I joke-rant a lot. I'm a joke-ranter. The core of my bitching is often not to be taken seriously.

I still don't get why "all the way to Tuesday" and it annoys me. And I am also annoyed that I was looking forward to it all day yesterday. But meh. Not like they're going to change their minds.

No big loss. It's going to be a pretty obvious predictable reveal anyway. Kabal can wait another week.

Well, i am thirsty for more reveals and news about MK11. But i can wait a few more days. I am glad there is no sign for a storm or something else here either.

What is -50? It can not be Celsius because that is South Pole temperatures?!

Understandable that they cancel as they have to put their emplyees' safety above everything else. Maybe they will tie in the stream with the one from Xbox? I can wait. It is only 6 more days anyway.

Yes, as the newcasters have been telling us nonstop for the last few days in Chicago.

I just copied and pasted this directly off cbs news Chicago's website...

"Chicago Will Be Colder Than Mount Everest, Antarctica, And Siberia On Wednesday.CHICAGO (CBS) — Wednesday is looking like one of the coldest days ever on record in Chicago, with the high temperature expected to be 12 degrees below zero, which would be colder than some of the most frigid places on earth."

That said, it is currently -27 Degrees Celsius in my area, and it's midday and sunny at the moment. Expected below 30 by nightfall. (which, as with NRS, is the Chicagoland area) Currently with a "feels like" of -41 Degrees, taking wind and such into account. So. I'm not sure where the -50 is occurring, but... allegedly somewhere in the midwest. Iunno.

So what do you all think we’ll see tomorrow between the Kombat Kast and Inside Xbox? Think we’ll get any character reveals?

My guess is that we’ll see Kabal gameplay, variation and special move breakdown as well as his gear and then they’ll answer some questions with either vague answers, some “we’re not talking about that yet” and an answer or two to questions no one really wants like “who’s your favorite so far” or “how’s the weather in Chicago now?” lol

Maaaaaybe we get a tease for the character for the next Kombat Kast? Maybe they show off one the stages we only got a glimpse of before?

As for Inside Xbox... Is XB1 the lead sku for MK11? Either way, I could see them focusing on some stuff we’ve already seen before, but ending with the first gameplay or a gameplay / reveal trailer for Kano.

What do you think?

•02/05/2019 03:12 AM (UTC) •

Bare minimum - Kabal vs. The Characters we've seen already.
If we're lucky - Kabal vs. Kano
If they take pity on us as a way of making up for the delay - Kabal vs. A Surprise Second Reveal

Also, for at least the initial few fights, they will forget to not skip the intros, but then people will yell at them in chat, and they will begin to remember not to. Mostly. They'll still occasionally skip one or two.

Man do I hope Kabal says something intriguing that gives us hints of things to come...

Fingers crossed for another Chaosrealm reference... lol...
